61.1150 Undated – 138 pages of Early Sermons of Father P.J. Ryan in his own handwriting,
apparently the first rough draft into which flowed the zeal and fervor of a great heart.
There is a typed copy of published items covering his life and labors from 1831 (his
birth) to 1911(his death). During his priesthood and episcopacy in St. Louis, local and
diocesan papers of the area carried items testifying to his activities and indefatigable
priestly labors especially among the poor and the Civil War Wounded and dying in
hospitals and homes. Incidentally, as pastor of Annunciation parish, he built a very
imposing and beautiful church financed in great part by his own efforts and sermons. His
saintly and sanctifying leadership was carried over into his new field of labor in
Philadelphia and was unmistakably portrayed in the successive issues of the Catholic Standard and Times from 1884 until after his death in 1911. Local papers also
recognized and acknowledged his sterling virtues as exercised in his high office. His
simplicity, serenity, sincerity, sanctity were self-evident in all his ways and endured to
the edification of all throughout his long life. Laity, religious, clergy, public celebrities
of city and State, Church and Nation, no less than the homeless, the unfortunate, the
wayward, sufferers drom wars or any public calamity, all reverenced him and found in
him a father, counselor and advocate. “Chrysostom of America,” he was acclaimed for
his scholarship and holiness in spoken or written word whether he spoke from pulpit or
conference table, or a chair in a humble home. His practical love for his people shone
forth in every aspect of parochial and missionary activity, and every appeal of the Holy
Father for the needy in any part of the world was taken to his heart as his own and
commended to the hearts of his faithful. There was a constancy in his mode of approach in all such matters, a fidelity in reporting returns and thanking God and his beloved
people. Gratitude was outstanding in his nature and charity enhaloed his every action as
if in every soul he recognized its Savior. His love for his seminary as “the most
important work” of his diocese was kept before his people. The tremendous impact of his
holiness is readily sensed in reading the typed record as already cited. In the SBS
Archives the carbon copy has been preserved, and carded briefly for reference or
checking, but there is no record as to the wherabouts of the original typed copy
